I WENT Y FOR IMPROVEMENTS
A Good Sign That Brunswick Has
Been and is New Prospering.
Some of the Buildings are
Handsome Ones.
As an evidence of the fact that
Brunswick has been and is still ex
periencing a large size building boon,
it may be of interest to say that City
Clerk Russell yesterday informed a
Nows representative that since the
first day of February 40 m-ewi building
permits have been granted to variou”
citizens by the city council.
In addition to this 20 permits have
been granted for repairs, making in
all practically 60 oases of improve
ment along building linen.
Of the new buildings erected some
being the New Town school house,

the city ought to pay. Some of the

been the custom to pay these regular

true jthat some of the men Willy

BRUNSWICK, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1903.
A WOMAN
RUN OVER
Hannah Maxwell, Colored,
Killed Yesterday Near
Sterling
NO BLAME ON RAILROAD
Coroner’s Jury Exonorates the South
ern and Says Killing Was Due
to Woman’s Own Negligence.
The Verdict.
Hannah Maxwell, colored, was
struck by the incoming passenger
train at Sterling yesterday morning
shortly after 7 o’claek and was killed
almost instantly.
Coroner Jennings was at once noth
lied of the accident and quickly sum
moned a jury and went to Sterling to
investigate the killing. The following
composed the jury: W. G. Ellenwood,
J. S. I). Williams, J. W.Chasten, S. J.
Gorton, R. J. Mathews, R. G. Jack
son.
After hearing all the evidence in the
case, the jury returned the following
verdict:
“We, the jury, after hearing the
testimony, find that Hannah Maxwell,
colored, came to her death by being
hit by engine No. 1772 of the Southern
railway, by stepping in front of said
engine when about 100 feet away from
her. We find that death was caused
by her own negligence, and exonerate
said railroad from any blame of
accident.”
I seems that the woman was some
what deaf and she must have stepped
on the track before looking to see if
an engine was on it. She was walking
in the same direction that the engine
•was coming and did not hear it ap
proaching. Her body was badly
mangled.
His Own Executioner.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Sept. 25.—Accord
ing to a dispatch from Lander, this
state, James Keller, who is to be
hanged there today, will act as his
own executioner. The arrangement
has been made at the request of the
condemned man. The gallows has been
so constructed that when Kcifer steps
upon the trap the action will draw a
plug from a pail tilled with water.
When the water runs low a counter
balance will throw the catch which
holds the trap, and the doomed man
will have hanged himself. Keffer’s
crime was the murder two years ago of

The following Atlanta dispatch

giant.” Coughlin lias been touted as
a pugilistic wonder, but so far as
actual facts go lie is an unknown

into sudden prominence only to be.
snuffed out by lies first real lighter

Three Days of Grace in
Payments to Be
Abolished
10 BREAK OLD CUSTOM
Three Days Will no Longer be Al
lowed in the Payment of Prom
issory Notes as Was Begun
Many Years Ago.
The law passed during the last ses
sion of the Georgia legislature, abol
ishing the three days of grace allowed
in the payment, discount or collection
of promissory notes in this slate, will
go into effect on October 1. Tlie law
will not effect those notes now in ex
istence, but, those made after tlie first
of next month.
Representative Calvin, of Richmond
introduced the bill, and one of its
strongest supporters was Representa
tive Slaton, of Fulton. The majority
of tlie states in the union have already
abolished the days of grace and the
varying laws relative to the payment
of notes caused endless coufussion in
financial circles.
The custom of allowing three extra
days in tlie payment of promissory
notes was begun many years ago in
England in tlie days of stage coaches
and before tlie time of the telegraph
facilities. In many instances it was
impossible for a men residing in the
country to reach London on the exact
day that his note fell due, owing to
accidents along tlie route, and for that
reason lie was allowed ext ra time.

other leaders who assist in amusing
the audience, and Bobby M. North,
